Bassin101 Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Glenn, I do not have a specific book in mind, but I do prefer the articles that teach techniques and methods. 8) Quote
JT Bagwell Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I have read the Kevin Van Dam book and the Jay Yelas book and both were very good. Other than that I just read some articles from time to time and watch fishing DVD's. JT Bagwell Quote
Pond-Pro Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 The NAFC books are really good. I have the walley one and the smallmouth one. They cover the basics and make it very clear. Quote
Trivib1 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Literature presented by Doug Hannon, Al linder, Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, they are just a trusted few. I take a hard look at what is presented by anyone., That is active on a pro circuit. Quote
Chris Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Rick Clunn, Kevin Van Dam, Doug Hannon, Larry Nixon, Jimmy Houston All have great books Quote
bassdocktor Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 The KVD books are great. The other two that make great reads are Jay Yelas's and Shaw Grigsby's. Both provide the reader with insites to life. Quote
GobbleDog Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 You guys can read ? Seriously though, I once read Larry Nixon's book. It was... well boring. But maybe that's because I had just started fishing. A few years ago I read parts of Kevin Van Dam's book and I thought it was pretty good. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted May 18, 2005 Super User Posted May 18, 2005 I have an old one that really breaks apart how to find fish deep, and how to find that spot within a spot. It is called Advanced Bass Fishing by Jon Weiss. Quote
D.Taylor Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Both of KVD's books are excellent. But my favorite is Bass Wars by Nick Taylor It's about tourney life, great read. Quote
Boo Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 NAFC books are excellent ! Thats where I first really learned details about fishing. Just ordered the John Weiss book on Amazon, hope its a good one. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted May 18, 2005 Super User Posted May 18, 2005 Largemouth Bass - An In-Fisherman Handbook of Strategies by In-Fisherman Staff I read this book about 4 years ago when I really started getting serious about bass fishing. It covers the basics of everything from bass biology, locating bass, patterns, boats, rods, reels, and all types of baits. Quote
cmatiazzo Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Largemouth Bass Extreme! (goezshop.com) It shows a bit of Everything , very nice Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 18, 2005 Super User Posted May 18, 2005 If you're after smallmouth, Smallmouth Bass by In-Fisherman is the most informative and complete fishing book I have ever read. It's well written, entertaining and an easy read. They devote a little bit too much ink to northern lake fishing, but most of the information is applicable to all waters. Quote
Shad_Master Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I have mentioned this before, but here goes again. My favorite is "Think Like A Fish" by Tom Mann. There is not a lot about how to catch fish, but it is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read and tells a great story about the fishing industry and a true legend. Quote
Curado Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 KVD's are awesome I really learned alot, I also have his DVD's. Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 18, 2005 Super User Posted May 18, 2005 Bass Wisdom by Homer Circle is outstanding. It is designed for the beginner but it is a good refresher course for the experienced fishermen. Quote
Will Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Bass Boss, a story of Ray Scott and how he started B.A.S.S.. Quote
Nick_Barr Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 How to be a bass pro, by joe thomas Bass Wars , by nick taylor B.A.S.S. library Quote
Jeff P. Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 As a new fisherman, I really enjoyed these two books: Field and Stream - The Complete Fisherman Erwin A. Bauer - Bass Fisherman's Bible I thought both were well written introductions to bass fishing (and fishing in general), and I learned a lot from both. Quote
Mattlures Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Wow! I cant believe nobody mentioned the bible that all trophy hunters have learned from. "In pursuit of giant bass" by Bill Murphey. If you want to catch big bass out west than this is absolutly the best book ever writen. Quote
Landis76 Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 I read Shaw Grigsby's book and I thought was decent. Quote
Guest the_mud_man Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Advanced Bass Fishing I got it for 3 buscks at a yard sale best 3 dollars Ive ever spent. And any thing By Dill Dance and Al Linder.How much better was In Fisherman while Al still had it?I cancelled my subscription recently now it is more like a merchandising scam disguised as a fishing magazine Quote
BassChaser57 Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Of course who can go wrong with Bill Dance. His new book is a good read, very complete and informative. Quote
